A microwave with a USB port would be great. Then you could feed the
SPAM in directly.

Yes, but be sure to cover with several layers of paper towels because
the fat really flies!

What do you think the plastic spatter shields are for? Also, they
are great for reheating pizza without drying it out.

Good one.

On the subject of microwaves, I recently learned what you *cannot* do in
them.
I was home alone and decided to raid the refrigerator. I found a big tub of
pre-mixed chocolate chip cookie dough and decided a little snack would be
nice. I didn't want to get involved with firing up the oven and finding
cookie sheets, etc., so I put three tablespoonful globs of the stuff on a
dish and stuck it in the microwave. I did a quick mental calculation ....
meaning I did a wild-assed guess ... and programmed five minutes at 80
percent power. Pushed the start button and went off into another room to do
something.

After about three minutes my dog (Sam Adams) caught my attention by barking
his head off in the kitchen.
I came over to see what his problem was and there was smoke pouring out of
the microwave rapidly filling the room. The stupid cookies had caught fire.
Then the alarm system went off which automatically caused the fire and
police department to call to see if our house was on fire.

Lesson learned.

Ah. I see. The _cookies_ were stupid.

Ayah. I may have run across a few of those myself!

No offense intended; I personally have lots more outrageous examples of
stupid stuff than your cookies!
